Well goaltended by Marc-Andre Fleury...Crosby is just terrific again...Letang-Despres was a good pairing tonight...well officiated too, even though some of our resident whine factories might not agree...well done overall.

Since we can't complain about Fleury...I'm guessing a "trade Orpik" thread comes out of this game because his stick broke and Kunitz couldn't stay with a man...

I only had one real problem with the officiating. It was the leafs charging call. That was pretty horrendous in my opinion.

For the record, Fleury was better than the level I expect from him every night. I do not expect him to be this good every night, but I also know it has been a while since he was this solid.

He seemed calm and focused. The D looked the same in front of him. I think overall the team played pretty well defensively. It still bears the question of which matters more - but this is what I know Fleury is capable of. He has now had 5 solid periods in a row.

Sid is just sick. Duper will either fan, or he will rip a wrister like a laser. He was great tonight and his interview with "Dan" was just great. "I'd talk systems with you DAN, but you don't know much...." Classic.

Another great win. I love the idea that Toronto sports talk is on fire right now.

Yeah, that also my only real beef...I didn't really get it. Otherwise, it was a well officiated game...how can you enjoy a game if the only thing you focus on is the refs doing something "wrong"? Especially in a game where we were the beneficiaries of the only stuff that was questionable...

Oh, wait, maybe, maybe, Tyler Kennedy got held in the low NZ with about 6 or 7 minutes to go...but when you get two questionable calls early in the game, you don't get that one...and I have no problem with that...
